Brother Number Three
Easter's Lilly Book 2

Coming in third place was something that was all too familiar to Hector Montiago. As his strength and grounding personality pushes him into first place with the woman he loves, lines are crossed and sides are chosen.



In this second book of the series, Brother Number Three depicts family ties in a light unequal to any other. Lilly tells the story of how the brothers unite in the effort to recover her missing son, as blood becomes both the indestructible bond that holds them together and the opposing force that pushes them apart. Read on as they fight temptation while the enemies of the Montiago cartel unleash their wrath, only to discover that the true danger lies within.




Relatively Close
Easter's Lilly Book 3

Recovering from the latest family trauma has made the Montiago family wake up to the fact that their priorities have definitely been misplaced. With Max throwing himself into the depths of his work as an FBI operative, he inadvertently sends the wrong message to his wife and brothers. In Relatively Close, the third book of the series, Lilly fights for the attention of her husband, until it becomes painfully clear that she is up against a mistress way more powerful than the ones she has fought before. Keeping it relatively close is something with which Lilly is way too familiar. She turns her attentions to another, only to find out that the reality of the business, which has kept her dripping in diamonds and living in mansions, is nothing more than an ugly reminder of El Diablo anda suelto: The devil running loose.




Memoirs of a Mobster
Easter's Lilly Book 4

Diego Montiago Jr. was groomed to run the largest criminal organization in both the United States and Mexico by the kingpin of the syndicate himself, who also happens to be his uncle.

The betrayal of his high school sweetheart sends Diego into a tailspin, which causes him never to expect love to be a feasible addition to his world. During a lavish birthday party for his mother, his best friend and cousin decides to collect on an overdue debt. Little does he know that this exchange will change him forever. In book four of the series Diego Jr. continues to protect his family and fill the shoes of the former Mexican Godfather, Diego Montiago Sr. His real father, who is the kingpin of the rival organization, begins his deceitful attack, causing Diego to choose his allegiance. The organization engulfs his life and the lives of those around him as the siblings begin to realize that things are not even close to what they appear to be. Will love find Diego Montiago after all? Only time will tell.

GUEST POST
 Guest Post

Hijacked by a Character

Did Lilly decide on her own to get mixed up in organized crime and have a love life that can only be envied? Yes. Yes, she did. I started my story with the intent of writing about my life. No, I am not a Mafia princess, and I barely had any contact with Mafia-related people at all (wink). Imagine my surprise when Lilly turned a corner and became her very own person, running wild and finding love in the most unexpected nooks and crannies. Before I knew what happened, Lilly was a hot mess, and I had no idea how to get her out of her very sticky situations.


Then came Max. He created himself, and out of nowhere, he became a knight in shining armor. Or was he…? Only time will tell, but I digress. Lilly and Max came along and completely highjacked my story. Not that I am mad at them for it. It was an amazing ride, and if I am perfectly honest, I miss that crazy, Montiago family. Between Junior trying to keep his integrity in check, despite his inability to feel remorse, and Lilly trying to grow and become her own woman, that family has been through the trenches. Organized crime will never be the same. Is love worth dying for? You be the judge.
